When Kiss meets Bon Jovi
Authenticity and pure passion
Meet Animalyze – raw energy, bursting with authenticity and a burning passion for their craft. Their powerful sound reflects the same intensity and dedication we bring to our blends. Together, we create a space where passion, creativity, and craftsmanship collide – elevating both music and spirits.
Animalyze is an explosive Danish metal band known for their unique sound, high-voltage live performances, and bold, standout style. Dressed in rhinestones, leather, and chains, their glam-rock visuals hit as hard as their riffs. Catchy hooks, big choruses, and heavy rock guitar bring to mind a glorious fusion of Kiss and Bon Jovi. No doubt – Vikki, Mike, Chris, and Clay are on the fast track to cult status. And now, they’re the first band in Spirits Amplified – a concept created by Old St. Croix to celebrate the power of music and the energy of exceptional blends.
Animalyze x Black Barrel
With its bold, full-bodied flavor, Black Barrel is bottled rock energy. That’s exactly why Animalyze fell for it – and why it follows them from rehearsals to the stage.
At Old St. Croix, we want to give upcoming artists more than just applause – we want to give them a platform. That’s why we’re supporting Animalyze’s release show with a full setup: Black Barrel bottles, tasting glasses, a VIP guest list of press and influencers, and custom band t-shirts to sell. The collaboration also includes exciting giveaways and content that captures the essence of their sound – loud, wild, and unmistakably theirs.
Get ready to meet a band you won’t forget. Watch the video. Feel the energy. Grab your own bottle of Black Barrel.

Old St. Croix – Honoring the Past, embracing the future
With the name change from A.H. Riise to Old St. Croix, we’re taking one step back – to take two steps forward. With the new name, we’re reviving the original vision that inspired Albert Heinrich Riise more than 150 years ago, when he made Danish West Indian rum known far beyond the shores of the islands.
